15 Home-Staging Tips to Sell Your House Fast

You don't need to spend a fortune to stage well you need to edit. This HGTV guide covers the moves that actually matter: removing half your furniture so rooms feel bigger, getting your lighting to 100 watts per 50 square feet, and floating furniture away from walls (yes, really it makes the room look larger). If you only do three things before listing, make it declutter, light, and depersonalize. Staged homes sell for 5–23% more than unstaged ones, so this effort pays for itself.
